| - I've been meaning to come for a while, but I'm forgetful and somehow, this place slipped off my bookmarked list of places to go. Oh well. Now I can say I've been here and had their chicken.
This is very much a hole in the wall. It's in the corner of a slightly sketchy little strip plaza. Very little parking in the front, but there is parking in the back, for those of you who are brave enough. The restaurant itself does have a few tables, but I'm guessing this is mostly a takeout place. The tables look clean, but upon closer inspection, they're a tad sticky (dried sauce stains and whatnot). Order at the counter, and then either pick up your food at the counter, or the man at the counter will bring it to you.
For what I believe is predominantly a takeout place, the service here is quite slow. It looked like there was one man manning both the orders and the kitchen. In other words, if he was making someone's food, there was no one taking orders. Ringing the bell on the counter did not speed this process up at all. Service was polite, but the man at the counter was super quiet. I don't have terrible hearing, but I had to ask him to repeat himself several times because he was speaking so quietly.
Shared the 4 piece flame grilled chicken with side ($9.99), and the two kebabs with a side and salad ($11.99) with my parents. It was just about enough food for the three of us. Oh. We also got a mango milkshake ($2.89 right now. Special price). We got onion rings as side 1 and peri new potatoes as side 2. The salad was served with a very sour dressing. The onion rings are battered, not breaded, which I like. The portion was pretty good. The peri new potatoes didn't taste at all like peri, whatever that meant. They just tasted like potato.The chicken pieces are not large pieces, but I've also seen smaller. They were a tad charred, but still tasty. The chicken we got with the lemon and herb sauce. It was tart, and I couldn't really taste many herbs past the char on the chicken. The kebabs were small for the a la carte price of $3.99, but they were tender. These were ground beef kebabs, and not pieces of beef. We got that one with the mild peri peri sauce, and it was tangy and tart and mildly sightly. Most of the food we ordered either tasted charred/grilled, or tangy and tart and spicy. While tasty, I like a variety of flavors when I eat, and this didn't deliver that. Oh. The mango milkshake tasted like ice cream and mango powder. They say they use real mangoes, but it still tasted like mango powder.
I might be back for the chicken, but given this experience, I'll probably look for another place that does it a little better.
One last thing. 3 pieces of chicken, a la carte, is $3.99. All sides save for peri fries and peri new potatoes are $2.99, and the two mentioned are $3.49. 3 pieces of chicken with a regular side costs $6.99. If my math works, this means you're not actually saving any money ordering the $6.99 set meal unless you order the peri fries or peri new potatoes with your meal. This only applies for the 3 piece set though. For the other chicken with side sets, the set only costs an extra $2.
